" ... premium increases. obamacare is responsible for 4% this year.
From 2014, when I was,
FORCED, to pay, (as per, King Bama).
to 2015, my premiums went up, 322%
(AND MY INCOME DID NOT CHANGE)Thanks 'King Bama', for your FAILED !!!!!! A.C.A.It, was, real simple. I put money away, in a, 'Self Insurance' , fund.
I used it once, when the Wife, broke her femur, the Hospital/Surgery, bill was $56,750.00. They NEVER gave me a Detailed, list of the costs.
I kept questioning/ASKING, them.
(By Minn LAW, if you ask, they MUST Give)
THEN, a, 'Meeting', with 6, 'heads', of the various departments.
After my questions, "WHICH NONE OF THEM WOULD ANSWER"
After the meeting, the administrator asked me:
"Well what do you think"I told him:
"I will pay a fair cost, but I WILL NOT GET SCREWED".2 days later, I received a bill for 15,000.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gee, from 56, THOUSAND, to 15 Thousand. ???????Think, 'BAMMA CARE" is BROKE !!!!!!!Now, here is ANOTHER Clincher, !!!!!!!!
INR, (Blood Test to determine the, 'thinness of the blood, while taking a, 'Blood Thinner'). As a, 'number, determined by what ever, is prescribed.
The, 'Insurance' cost is $69.95 per test. (In Minn)
(The test consists of, 'pricking a finger', taking a, 'drop' of blood, and determining what, 'number', that blood is).
The, 'test' takes, 1 min, and it takes a $500.00 machine to read the results.
My wife had to do this for 10 weeks, (once a week), after she got out of the hospital.
So, the Clinic, that did the blood tests. First time, I said:
"How Much".They said:
"69.95"I said:
" NO, I will pay you CASH, each time, Right Now".They, called, consulted, talked about it, etc.
and after 15 min it was:
"We will take $24.00"GEE, 69.95 to 24.00 ??????????????Think Health Care is BROKEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!OK, Let's FIX it.
First thing. Let ALL the H.C. Insures, Compete, with each OTHERS.
Do, NOT, allow, (can you say, 'Kick Back'), ONLY, a handful to compete in each State.
Then, (nothing wrong with a profit), but NOT, a
GROSS OBSCENE, PROFIT. That would be like getting a S-40 for 5,000.00 then turning it around and selling it, for $20.000.00 (By a, 'King Bama", GUARANTEED Profit) !
Getting back to topic.
Today, 'Refuges', are QUITE, DIFFERENT, than, Yesterdays.
Today, the, 'Terrorists', are riding the backs of, 'Real People In Need'. To do Nothing but, TAKE Free this and that, so they can, 'GO BACK', and use that against US.
That, 'Rattlesnake', is going to BITE, you !
